YOUTH MINISTRY MISSION 

To introduce our youth to the importance of parish community life and to instill in them the understanding that they are an integral part of the Church. We seek to involve them in activities that nurture their faith, invite them to embrace their calling “to know, to love, and to serve God,” and inspire each young person to take on the mission of sharing the Good News.

YOUTH MINISTRY VISION

The Youth Ministry of the Diocese of Nelson empowers young people to become living disciples of Christ by fostering a deep, personal relationship with Jesus and encouraging them to live out their faith through service to the Church and the wider community.

ANIMA CHRISTI

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O Good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever. Amen.
